Lyrics
1. While the silvery moon is shining
In the dear old southern sky
And all nature seems at rest
The birds have ceased their song
‘Tis lovin’ time when you are nigh
Never was a rose more sweet, dear
How I love you no one knows
Come to me, my honey gal
I’m waitin’ here for you
Won’t you come to me, my Dixie Rose
Chorus:
You are my Dixie Rose
The fairest flower that grows
Say you’ll be mine in June
And ‘neath the big honey moon
We’ll wander arm in arm
Content in love’s sweetest charm
Then we can cuddle up and spoon
While I croon love’s old sweet tune
To my pretty little Dixie Rose
2. Evening comes, I dream of you dear
And the dear old days gone by
How in happy childhood days
Through cotton fields we’d roam
And listen to the night winds sigh
Boogieman would hang around, dear
While the honey moon hung low
Then I’d take you in my arms
And hug you close to me
And I’d sing because I love you so
